Fate/Grand Order

x4 I mean, 99% of the game is written in the way that it ignores what gender you are.

Oh I know the game is written with a guy in mind. I've less accepted this and just acknowledged it after it started becoming obvious in Camelot. Honestly I sometimes wonder if they shouldn't have bothered with the dual protagonist option. That's why the statement kind of confused me since its not like they ever make an effort to differentiate the two outside of Yuri tease and one line of dialogue from Robin in summer 4.

x2 well...then...

My opinion is always, if your writing favours one gender, just have a fixed character.

It's been one of my big frustrations with game writing for years.

So like Persona?

Yeah, basically. P 3 P is also a good example of a strong dual protagonist option.

'kay, can I please not have to fight Oprichnik (what is the plural, anyway) anymore for a while?

I imagine it's "Oprichniki" that's plural.

I've heard Russian plurals are a mind-screw anyway, so I'm not sure I really want to know...

@deluded: In the interest of fairness, P 3 P was entirely written with the other PC in mind, as the male route just copy pastes the script from the original.

It's not something FGO can really do, because it has not set time to actually end, suspisciously worded interviews notwhistanding.

So, I just realized… in nearly ALL Fate series, more often than not, things go bad because a Caster fucks shit up. FSN? Caster went off the rails, enabled Archer and, if you count Zouken, made the whole mess to begin with. Apocryhpa? Avicebron went off script and made an NP that nearly fucked up the world for both sides. Shakespeare tried to fuck things up and only Amakusa being paranoid as hell with an almost Caster girlfriend stopped it.Zero? Gilles is MADE of ‘fuck everything up’. FGO? It all started because Solomon DONE FUCKED UP BECAUSE OF HIS WISH. Camelot? Double Caster fuckup of Merlin and Morgaine. Prisma Illya? Rin and Luvia fuck up. 2wei? Mama fucked up. 3rei? Ainsworths fuck up SO MUCH.

Tsukihime? Caster (magi) fucked Arcuied up, fucked Ciel up, fucked Sacchin up, fucked Ren/Len and White Ren/Len and fucked Sion up. I think the only one that was fucked up with no Caster (magi) involvement was Akiha and the twins, and even then I’m not sure.

So, in conclusion, it’s all the Caster’s (Magi’s) fault.

Oh yeah, I know. It just popped into my head while thinking of Persona and fixed characters.

I'm slowly making my way through the Lostbelt, the characters are really strong. Bout the only niggle I had was Goredolf feeling kind of weak when things are serious, but I imagine that will change moving forward as well.

Can't agree. If anything, Caster in Zero keeps things from going sideways sooner than they did, by giving all of the other players an immediate threat to unite against.

Gilgamesh is the main instigator who fucks everything up in Zero by deciding that Kotomine would be fun to enable, which in turn leads to the main cast of FSN being wholly unprepared for their roles because all their parental figures killed each other in the previous Grail War.

It's because Tokiomi wasn't assertive enough with him.

Anyway, let's start Agartha I guess.

Casters tend to be the closest to human Mages in power set, after all, and we all know that Mages are awful jerks who live to fuck things up. It makes sense.

I doubt trying to be assertative to Gilgamesh would earn you much more than a axe splitting your skull.

Anyway, in FSN, the main factor that fuck things up royally is the Einsberns who thought up the entire process in the first place. The cockup cascade starts there.

Also I want, one day, see an anime where the priests aren't utterly evil bastards.

Father Anderson was close but even him was only heroic because the standards of Hellsing are pretty low.

It's not even the Catholicism talking: after 16 years of this (counting from the release of FSN), thing are getting a little bit repetitive.

Tojkiomi was a loser who thought he could order Gilgamesh to kill himself using a command seal.

Really the Grail War was doomed the moment he thought that was assured.

Gilgamesh secretly likes it when you slap his ass and call him a bitch

that's how enkidu seduced him, after all

ED: Seriously though, he finds blind obedience and blatant asskissing to be boring, and it's probably the worst way to treat him.

And thus he went to Kotomine for entertainment.

Levelling up the Artic Mystic Code while doing the free quests felt bit bothersome because the attack buff just doesn't feel strong enough. But alas, it is done. Now to wait to Go West rerun.

New trailer:

Wow, Fuck that giant demonic boar.

So I guess there won't be that prison sequence since Xanzang is seen in Egypt and Serenity is just chilling there. Or something.

RIP Riceman.

No, they showed Touta in a previous trailer I thought.

Outside of his cameo in Babylonia anime, he hasn't appeared in any animated format.

Anastasia banner 2.

Reminder: Salieri's inclusion means that we are going to get dedicated Extra-class banners in the future. If you want him but not that much, it is better to save up for them.

And considering that these banners are basically like the Story-Banners but with slightly higher odds for certain servants to pop up, the class-gachas might be the better choice in this case.

Anastasia is going to be added to the class-banner in the future after all.

I guess when it all boils down to it, it's a question if one wants the limited servant offered or not.

In short: "Do I want Ivan?"

(Answer(personal): "I'm in no need to rush-roll anything, as long I have singularities to get through first.")

...

Did Archer just confirmed the possibility of a Berserker-Artoria Alter in the future?
